Defined in the glossary: Pinky violence
Meiko Kaji before Toei, leading a girl gang through Nikkatsu's coolest delinquent picture.
Before Toei turned her into the face of Female Prisoner Scorpion, Meiko Kaji was over at Nikkatsu fronting the Stray Cat Rock films, and this is the best of them. She leads a girl gang in a mod-lit nowhere town where the local boss has decided to hunt down everyone of mixed race, which turns a groovy youth picture unexpectedly hard about halfway in. Yasuharu Hasebe shoots it like a pop single, all zooms and colour and garage rock, then lets real venom bleed through.
Kaji barely raises her voice and owns every frame she stands in.

The cycle in depth
- Pinku eiga and the rules that shaped it
Pinku eiga is a Japanese trade category for cheap independent sex features, sized for small theatres and shot to fit Eirin's rule on what a body may show.
- Meiko Kaji and the art of not blinking
Toei hired her to headline prison quickies. She built the most-copied performance in Japanese genre cinema out of about forty lines of dialogue.
Filed alongside
Horrors of Malformed Men
Suppressed by Toei for decades. Butoh dancing, an island, and total delirium.
Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs
Toei's red-coated killer cop, and the blueprint for every lone avenging woman after her.
Girl Boss Guerilla
Norifumi Suzuki at full speed. Reiko Ike is the whole show.
Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41
Ito's second, and the most formally daring film in the whole category.
Blind Beast
Masumura, one set, three actors, and an ending that goes much further than expected.
Sex & Fury
The naked snow swordfight. Everyone remembers it; the rest is decent Meiji melodrama.
School of the Holy Beast
The Japanese entry, and formally the most accomplished of them.
Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom
The title is the pitch. Delivers on it with unusual formal care.
Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable
Ito's last. Kaji drags a severed arm through Tokyo in the opening minutes.
Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion
Sold as a women-in-prison quickie. Shot like an art film. Meiko Kaji barely blinks.
Lady Snowblood
Where Kill Bill got most of its ideas, including the snow.
